A Polish government official said that migrants who spent days in a makeshift camp on the Belarusian side of Poland’s eastern border were being taken away by bus by Belarusian officials.

A large group of people from the Middle East have been stuck at a border crossing with Poland, hoping to enter Europe, since November 8. Most are fleeing conflict or hopelessness at home and aim to reach Germany or other western European countries.
